BioShock Artbook and More

BioShock is an awesome video game. And I’d imagine it would probably make for a great setting for a roleplaying game. I’m thinking Savage Worlds for the ease of conversion and for the pulp/action/horror of setting.

It’s got magic (in the form of genetic enhancements known as Plasmids), some frightening enemies (Splicers), and a really fleshed out underwater, art deco city (Rapture.)

I wouldn’t recommend visiting the following links if you plan on playing the game without spoilers. But they should give you more then enough setting information to run a campaign in the universe or, at least, one inspired by the series.

• BioShock: Breaking the Mold – an artbook available as a free PDF download.
• BioShock’s Official Website
• BioShock on Wikipedia
• The BioShock Wiki
• BioShock Savage Worlds Conversion (a bit on the light side)
